"There was a disturbance there called in by the homeowner," Higgins said Monday, declining to discuss details of the 7:56 p.m. report.

Higgins credited Officer Richard Roy with arresting 59-year-old Wilfredo Rodriguez of 27 Hutchinson St. in Springfield's Pine Point neighborhood. Rodriguez was in possession of a stolen hangun, Higgins said. "Anytime you get an illegal gun off the street, it's good for the police and the public," he said.

Rodriguez was charged with carrying a firearm without a license; possession of ammunition without a firearms identification card; causing a disturbance while carrying a dangerous weapon; vandalizing property; threatening to commit a crime; possession of a gun during commission of a felony; and receiving stolen property in excess of $250. The last charge was for the stolen gun, Higgins said.

Rodriguez was expected to be arraigned Monday in Chicopee District Court. Further details were not immediately available.

In a separate incident, police arrested 28-year-old Regino Martinez, 1200 Grattan St., Apt. 3, Chicopee, around 10:30 p.m. Saturday for allegedly flashing a knife during a disturbance outside a city bar at 134 Meadow St. The bar was not related to the call, but Martinez was charged with a single count of assault with a dangerous weapon, Higgins said. Martinez was expected to be arraigned Monday on the charge.
